A heart-warming video of a migrant worker helping an elderly man cross the road at Ang Mo Kio has netizens gushing over his act of kindness.
A passer-by shared the video of the wholesome moment on SGFollowsAll Instagram page on Wednesday (Aug 23) and wrote: "A kind worker stepped in to support an elderly person, making sure he crossed the road safely."
The video showed the migrant worker patiently assisting the elderly man with a walking stick to cross the road while the pedestrian traffic lights were red.
Needing help to cross the road, the elderly man could be seen holding onto the migrant worker's shoulder for support. Even though the traffic light was in the drivers' favour, the vehicles waited for both of them to finish their crossing.
The selfless act by the migrant worker garnered many praises online with even the Singapore Kindness Movement (SKM) reposting the video on their Facebook page.
